This is the winning drawing for the class book that we will be publishing. Congratulations to the lucky illustrator. Our book is scheduled to be published on Aprill 22. Hopefully our copy will be sent to us before Best of Heights Night on May 11 so that it can be displayed.
This week our essential question was "How do people get along?" We discussed one of our vovabulary words this week... "cooperation." We read a story about a girl that plays soccer and needs to learn how to cooperate to help the team win the game. We also read about how children at a school in Seattle came together to stop bullying.
This week we learned about idioms. The students chose to create a book of idioms. This will be on display at Best of Heights Night. Here is a sneak peek...
We finished up our unit on time this week. The second graders should be familiar with time to the nearest five minutes at this level. Some students had a hard time grasping the idea of the wording of quarter to/past and half past. We took a unit test and I felt like overall the class needed more review. So we did some more practice and then took a re-test. Some of the students still struggled with some of the concepts. Look for the test to come home this weekend for you to sign and review. We will continue to practice these skills through the end of the year. Keep it in mind and try to review time with your children.
This week in science we started a new unit on Plants and Habitats. The students will be working together in groups to create a habitat report. In social studies, they learned about how products are made and transported and how consumers then purchase these products.
I have my fingers crossed that Opening Day of baseball is still on this weekend.....
